Non granite countertops

7 years ago

Looking for some input on countertops that are not granite. I’d like no maintenance, reasonably durable and not top dollar. What should I consider?

Laminate. Durable, easy to clean, doesn't crack, hard to stain, non porous and light weight.

One says concrete, one says no. Why or why not?

concrete is high maintenance unless you don't mind stains. Quartz is relatively low maintenance in general, butt some versions demand a lot of upkeep. Quartzite is tough and durable, but a lot of people by marble masquerading as quartzite, and that is a problem. Corian is pretty low maintenance but more expensive than laminate.

Laminate would be your best bet.

Corian or Laminate would be my choices. Concrete is very high maintenance. Also, if by low maintenance you mean can take hot pots and such, consider soapstone, though that is pricier.
